Here's the latest masterpiece of my favorite artlist: Pawel Kuczynski's ISIS, he published this piece on his facebook on 13 December 2014, which already stirs some debate among his Muslims fans in the Facebook realm.
Now, here's my point of view. He titled the piece as "ISIS", the extremist group which is the self-proclaimed as the Islamic State based in Iraq and Syria, where it controls territory. ISIS where well known for their be-heading activities.
This piece of art, didn't resemble any ISIS related things in it. One might argue, that there's a man doing the worshiping of Allah, and the oil came out from the ground. Well, my Muslim friends might feel offended by this piece, but for me, it is a great piece.
What do I think and why I think this is great? You will have to relate the current issue of oil slump! The oil price had already fall down below $60 (USD) per barrel on Friday (12/12/2014). Even though the mainstream media claimed that it is due to the Saudi Arabian refusal to control their production activities and bla bla bla... Well, on the view of that, why this piece is titled ISIS, in my POV, would have been a reminder for the ISIS group, which were mainly funded by oil profit. And now, because of the oil slump, they might have problem on gaining more profit to support their activities. May be the best way for them to do now, is to go back and sincerely worship Allah, confess their sins, so that they may still survive on the rich oil resources that Allah had gave them.
Therefore, I see no insult or any offensive meaning in this piece. It is a peace message, that everyone should know, oil is not a fast renewable energy. It is a huge cost for the society to have it in lower price. Why? In my POV, we have to ask ourselves, why we develop alternative renewable energy? Because previously, oil is expensive! That's why we develop solar or wind energy. We make electric cars and etc... now, everything changed! Oil become cheap and it is cheaper than the cost of solar or wind energy, who else would want to drive an expensive electric car? This phenomena would have put a halt on all alternative energy development.That's why, it is a huge cost for the society.
No matter what it is, lets just pray, to Allah, Jesus, Yahweh, Buddha or whoever God you believe in, we will have a better world and PEACE to all! Amen.
